  1. Encourage your son or daughter to work as soon as possible. Nothing prepares for future work, better than present work.
  2. Encourage full participation in high school work experiences.
  3. Develop a work vision early so that the school can get in on the act early with the goals encapsulated within the IEP.
  4. If specific credentials are required to secure employment - research the training facility that has the best reputation (not for people with disabilities) – but the best reputation in turning out skilled graduates who get jobs. Approach that facility and see what needs to happen for your son or daughter to attend.

Family members can take

Submitted on February 1st, 2010 by orlando

Family members can take advantage of many of the outplacement
services offered to members of
the Guard and Reserves. Most of these services are provided at the
Career One-Stop Center or
State Employment Offices. They are also offered and coordinated through
the Transition
Assistance and ACAP Offices at most major military installations. Family
members can get help
in developing their own Individual Transition Plans; they also have
access to the following
employment services 642-456:

Department of Labor (DOL) TAP Employment Workshops: These 2 ½ day
workshops are
coordinated through the Transition Assistance and ACAP Offices. These
workshops can help you
with your employment objectives while the military member is
deployed. Members of the Guard
and Reserves, as well as their spouses, can access the same services at
the Career One-Stop
Centers. Contact your Career One-Stop Center or a local military
installation Transition/ACAP
Office or Command Career Counselor (Navy) immediately to get scheduled
for an appointment 220-701.

Spouses of activated and deployed Guard and Reserves are highly
encouraged to attend the DOL
Transition Assistance Employment Workshop if you are located near a
major military installation
that offers the workshop. If not located near a military installation,
spouses should take
full advantage of the services available at their local Career One-Stop
Center HP0-S18.
